The Young Leaders SchemeThe
Young Leaders' Scheme is just one of the exciting programme elements in
the Explorer Scout section. All Leaders in the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout
and Scout Sections who are between the ages of 14 and 18 are members of a
Young Leaders' Unit. They are Explorer Scouts who choose to devote a
large proportion of their time in Scouting to service in another
section.

The
Young Leaders' Scheme helps Explorer Scouts to develop and grow as
individuals. It allows them to make a valuable contribution to their
community and give service to others. The scheme also helps them fulfil
the service elements of their awards.

In
our district, we run monthly YLT sessions. After each
session there's some time put aside to socialise with other Explorer Scouts and enjoy some Pizza-type food.

As part of the Young Leaders' Scheme there are four missions to be
completed alongside the eleven modules.

These missions are designed to
allow the Young Leaders to put the learning from the Modules into
practice. By doing so, they will gain in confidence and become an
integral part of the leadership team within their Section and Group.

By supporting a section at 3rd Washington Scouts you can complete your Young Leader's Scheme missions. Our missions page contains some ideas to help you complete the four missions while you're having a great time 3rd Washington Scouts
